I've been tossing around the transmission question for a while and I ran across this site http://www.twistgear.net/index.html

Has anyone had any experience with them? I want the acceleration and the lower final RPM. Seems like it might be a good alternative to an OD.

Graham brings up some good points. Would I trade my DD6 for a five stock five speed, the answer is NO! You have to remember that my FXR (not a Dyna), is quite a a bit ligher than anything but a Sportster. I slso pack ride on the Interstates in the U.S. @ 85 MPH or more or less and that's where the Baker exceeds.

When properly setup and geared correctly, my 93 EVO will stay up with the souped up 98", 103" and 110" TC's all day long. I must admit though, my friend and Bro has to pack some of my gear in his saddlebags as I have none, but we get it done.
